South Bend, IN – A winter storm is forecast to bring heavy snow and ice to northern Indiana and far southern Michigan from Wednesday night through Thursday, impacting travel and creating hazardous road conditions.

According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, the heaviest snowfall is expected in northwest Indiana and parts of lower Michigan, where accumulations could reach 5 inches or more. Freezing rain and icy conditions are also likely, further complicating commutes.

The storm will move in Wednesday evening, with peak snowfall and ice accumulation expected overnight into early Thursday morning. Slick roads, reduced visibility, and snow-covered highways could create dangerous driving conditions during the Thursday morning commute.

Forecasters advise residents to monitor weather updates and prepare for potential winter weather advisories or warnings. After a brief lull, a wintry mix may return over the weekend, extending the period of hazardous weather.

Drivers are urged to exercise caution, reduce speed, and allow extra time for travel. For the latest road and weather updates, visit weather.gov.
